Noise floor seems good to me. I have the Audeze Mobius also, and those have a very obvious noise floor in comparison. Even with ANC on, the background noise is vastly quieter than the Mobius headphones. I struggle to hear it to the point I am not sure if it's actually there or I am just...

Received my Max's a few hours ago and am enjoying them so far. I think they sound good - i'm retiscent to say how good as I don't have the experience most here have, so take a pinch of salt with all of the following.. I havn't ever had any super high end headphones before. My current headphones...

Im sure within 3 months the market will be flooded with options for all sorts of cases of varying spec and price.

But would you feel it necessary to put it in a case each time you take it off, when from what we've heard power drain is probably under 10% per 24hours when outside of a case ? If you take them off for a couple of hours outside a case, you're going to lose about 1%. I don't really see why anyone...

Well, it's 10% out of the case of course. Presumably the drain is a lot lower when in the smart case. If you are going to be putting them away for a few days or more, it seems like putting them in the case is the best option. It's a weird case for sure, but if that's what I have to do to keep...

I'm listening to this podcast with John Gruber and his friend, and it seems like they will lose 10% (maybe a little less), if they are left out of their smart case for 24 hours. That is acceptable to me. Not as good as an iPad or MacBook, but still good to the point it won't be annoying...

I was lucky enough to be on twitter when the Apple news sites tweeted the press release of the AirPods Max, so managed to get my order in within a couple of minutes. Original estimate was 15th to 17th December, with 15th being the official launch date. For whatever reason it's now just saying...

I'm not personally concerned about the lack of a power off button for these headphones. With the optical ear sensors, accelerometers it really should be able to enter a very low power state when not in use, a far lower power state than say your smartphone. I would withhold too much judgement...

After previously owning some AD700's, i was after something that would better suit some of the dance/electronic/dubstep music i listen too, so i ordered some M50's and they arrived today. I gave them a quick hour burn in at a fairly high volume on my Boa D2+ before i tried them, and i chose my...

Quote: That must be a downside to all closed cans, surely ? no ventilation is going to get things hot pretty fast.

Too me they are fine for music, but then i am not as 'hardcore' as most of the people on here. I do agree though on the comfort, i use my PC quite a lot and leaving them on for over 6 hours at a time is a non-issue, they're superb. I know the M50's or HFI 580's arn't so comfy, but i can deal...

Quote: Are you trying to say  the M50's are that much better for music ? If so, that's definitely interesting.   Quote: Thanks for that, i'll be sure to have a look at them.      

 About 6 months ago i got some ATH-AD700's, and for the first time, a nice little headphone amp to go with them, the iBasso D2+ Boa. I love them for using on my PC, i use the D2+ as a DAC/AMP for listening to music and games when on my PC, and the sound is excellent. However they are not...

    Great, thanks.

Hello, I have just ordered an iBasso D2+ Boa with a Line-Out Dock connector. I am aware that you can use it just as a DAC, AMP or DAC+AMP. Although i am a little confused how i use each one. I have had Sennheiser HD650's, Grado SR125's and now some ATH AD700 headphones before. But never a...

Yeh, well i guess i'm actually happy with a flat bass response thinking about it, my monitor speakers are very flat - and the bass they produce i fine. So if i'm happy with studio monitors, i'm sure i'll be happy with most headphones on the bass side of it. I'll take a look at the beyer's and...

I havn't been looking at headphones for over a year now (or listening to them). I last had some Grado SR225, and before that some Sennheiser HD650, and some Shure SE530. Now i'm listening away on my computer to some Studio Monitors, but they are failing me because the soundcard they require...

How do the sony MP3 players such as the Sony NWZ-E436FB and the NWZ-S638FB compare to the higher end players like NWZ-A818 in terms of sound quality ? As i don't really have the money for the higher end models i would like to know.

Thanks a bunch guys - i will look into all the headphones mentioned in my price limit My budget really is £230 to £250 though As mentioned before, how are the A900's unamped for club music (just soundcard) , good bass etc ?

Ok thanks. Well i had the HD650's before - loved them but couldn't afford an amp at the time and them being open made them a little unpractical at the time. Do the HD600's sound similar to the 650's then ? I will take that into consideration thanks, but i was looking at the Denon D2000's...

I am totally confused in the world of headphones, every moment theres a new amp, and so many contradicting opinions i don't know what to beleive Anyway, i will be mainly listening to music such as electronica (kind of rave music, night club music) just because i love the energy and rhythm of...

Now ive just got to get hold if it..., is there an amp under £60 that will do it justice ?

I bet theres no way near as much bass as the Senn HD650's/HD600 (heard they sound similar) though ?

But how do they sound with acoustic music, good soundstage etc ? (same question to K501 and the Prolines) on audioreview.com it's quite apparent that even non bass heads think it's lacking low end (K501) , and i think the Ultrasone's are out of my price range, i think it'll have to be...
